Thanks all for the answers! I think I will do it, after discussing it w/ 
the AFO (Assistant Financial Officer, I do all the finance stuff, she signs 
the checks so to speak :-) ) later.

One final question - "..good mercury thermometer to verify solution 
temperatures..." I thought the Jobo will take care of the water 
temperature, but I guess the solution temperature is important too? What is 
the process of getting the right solution temperature? Zip water in 
microwave, check w/ thermometer and adjust?
